Dr. "Brook applies Rand's ideas to today's political events, with chapters addressing the debt crisis, inflation, regulation, the welfare state, and much more."

The introduction to the book starts out:

"In 2007, Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged sold 185,000 copies, an all-time record for the book. Fifty years after it was first published, readers were still captivated by Atlas’s unforgettable characters, its gripping plot, and its challenging ideas. We at the Ayn Rand Institute were elated but not entirely surprised. Thanks in part to our efforts, sales of Atlas Shrugged have been growing since Rand’s death in 1982. But even we did not expect what came next."
